Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, You are going to ask me why, for the love of God, I want to talk to you about video games, aren’t you? I am well aware that a man like you perceives video games in general as a drain on energy, and people who spend their days playing games... Continue Reading →
15. Siblings
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, Success! This morning, I am feeling neck pain at 3/10. 3/10! I am so pumped, I cannot even explain to you. I can move my neck; my flexibility is back, and I am mostly able to stand. After an hour in the kitchen while organizing the kids, I did feel... Continue Reading →
14. The Break
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, Neck pain this morning was dull and annoying. A solid 7/10 that I cannot, for the life of me, shake. I just took some Tylenol on top of my regular Naproxen, but I still feel it enough that every motion, noise, and sudden explosion of silliness from the kids makes... Continue Reading →
12. The Kids
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, Life is about cycles, start and go, creation and consumption, inspiration and numbness. It seems that for the first 10 days of our correspondence, I was in a “show and tell” mood, bleeding on the page and creating the words. And now, I am more in the consumption stage, where...

11. Obsession
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, It is the second morning in a row I wake after a dream of you. You, dear sir, are becoming an obsession. I woke up burning for you. Burning. The dream I had is not the kind I want to share with you in my 11th letter, but trust me,... Continue Reading →
10. Dreams and Bread
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, It’s 6:18 am. I just woke up. Usually, I do not turn on the light switch in my bedroom because it’s calibrated to mimic a sunrise with Alexa at 6. I am not sure why I forgot to turn the switch off yesterday, but I am glad I did. Because... Continue Reading →
8. Signs Of Life
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, It’s Wednesday. Two days of this week have passed, and I am slowly, painfully slowly, gathering my life back after 3 weeks of being completely disabled. Pain levels are still high most days, and I am not quite capable of sitting for long. That, combined with the inner anxiousness to... Continue Reading →
7. Not Enough
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, I hope this letter finds you in good spirits. I had a burst of energy and ability this morning, waking with only 5/10 on the pain scale. I used the time wisely and attended the kitchen. Took care of the kids. Drago and Stallion are home today, sick. Wolfy and... Continue Reading →
4. No Regrets
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, I have been digging for knowledge on you. It’s funny how when you “meet” someone, you just feel at home. But then to articulate that is a tough job. And what I found, both from working with AIs and from my own life — is that as long as you cannot articulate... Continue Reading →
3. 125 Unicorns
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, I have had quite a night. I couldn’t sleep till 2 am and then woke at 6. So the pain in the neck is high today. I can bore you with the details of what switching medications and adjustment periods do to your brain, but I respect your time too... Continue Reading →
